The opposition demands a formal response from the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) due to the case involving Federal Deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ). Despite the pressure, parliamentarians admit difficulties for a quick or incisive reaction, the CNN.
Still according to parliamentarians heard by CNNthere is doubt about the possible legal paths, and the emptying of the week in Brasilia makes political articulations difficult.
The Supreme’s first class partially overthrew a decision of the house plenary on branch. It is released, until the end of the mandate, to respond for the crimes of qualified damage and deterioration of overturned assets.
On the other hand, processes for violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, and criminal organization continue to run normally.
Most deputies had approved the suspension of all criminal action against the former director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) in the coup plan survey.
Hugo Motta pointed out that the Chamber’s decision on branch was. “We have the legal advice of the house studying the subject to see how the House will position itself,” he told the CNN During an event of Brazil Sphere in New York, on the night of Monday (12).
“It is important to say that this was a decision backed by more than 300 deputies, that is, the wide will of the house was expressed there by locking the criminal action and, at the right time, after talking to the legal advice, we will take our position,” added Hugo Motta.
There are parliamentarians of the Liberal Party (PL) who advocate pressing the Board of Directors of the House – led by Motta – to resort to the plenary of the Supreme Court. The legal board analyzes what to do.
However, the STF understands that it is not possible to appeal this type, the CNN. In a way, there are those who see the opposition “tied hands” legally.
The PL also consists of stimulating a path similar to the branching case to other deputies who have been facing cases in court. For example, new requests for suspension of shares against Deputy Juscelino Filho (União Brasil-MA), who was Minister of Communications of Lula Management until April, when, and Deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), defendant on the STF by the episode of the weapon wielded in the eve of the second electoral shift of 2022.
The idea of opposition deputies is to “scale the fight” and test the STF’s response.
However, the PL also does not want to embark on a reaction alone, and seeks to ensure the support of other parties, especially the centr, before defining which direction to take.
Centrão leaders see STF interference in a prerogative that they consider to be exclusive to Parliament. Added to this is their dissatisfaction with decisions involving parliamentary amendments and other investigations.
Despite the possibilities, in a context that ends up disrupting the impact of any more immediate reaction, Congress is experiencing a kind of informal recess this week. Opposition deputies admit that this “cooled personal contacts.”
Motta is in commitments to entrepreneurs in New York, United States. Already the president of Congress and Senate, David Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), is in the entourage of the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), Russia and China.
There is no relevant vote or controversy scheduled for the next few days. Until the discussion about the Income Tax Reform Bill in the House Special Commission on the subject should be paralyzed this week.
Therefore, the perspective is that several party leaders do not even travel to Brasilia, which hinders the joint and pressure on a possible quick response to the Supreme, as the opposition would like.
